GMAR WEEKLY UPDATES
GMAR UPDATED ADVERTISING POLICY AND THE
'ONE-CLICK RULE'
When advertising real estate listings and services on social media, there must be consideration to Wisconsin State Law and the Realtors Code of Ethics.

The Code of Ethics, via Standard of Practice 12-5 allows for you to include your required disclosures after one click. This is how the GMAR will review advertising in the future to determine if a citation is warranted. However, the once click rule will likely not satisfy required disclosure requirements under state law.   

GMAR MEMBER KATIE FALK NETS 21 GOLF CHAMPIONSHIPS AND IS STILL GOING
Author Robert Collier said, "Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out." That quote could define a Milwaukee woman who's found success in a number of areas. At 74 years old, stroke after stroke, Katie Falk is still grinding.

Falk is known affectionately by realtors as the Grand Dame of Real Estate in Milwaukee. In her golf career, she has won 21 Wisconsin state tournaments and will look for number 22 June 7 thru the June 9 at the Wisconsin State Golf Association Women’s Match Play Championship.


Rep. Rob Summerfield (R-Bloomer) introduced Assembly Bill 156 to provide a tax credit to incentivize developers to build more workforce housing in Wisconsin. In this edition of Capitol Insights, WRA Executive Vice President Tom Larson discusses this proposal with Rep. Summerfield.

UPCOMING AFFILIATE EVENTS
GMAR YPN presents Leigh Brown - You Are No Longer *Just* A REALTOR®

Mon, 5/24, 10-11am
Location: You pick! Leigh will be presenting virtually, so you can attend virtually from the location of your choice, or gather with other YPN-ers to watch at Advance Title & Closing (Lower Level Conference Room, 375 Bishops Way, Brookfield, WI 53005)

Reports of Fair Housing testers and misbehaviors among some Realtors® have caused concerns about the reputation of this profession and how we, as professional Realtors®, can do more in messaging with our sphere marketing to combat the negativity – do a better job, and tell the whole story of what a Realtor® actually does. In this session, you'll leave with a list (that you can supplement!) of what a Realtor® actually does – and how to tell that story in your marketing. You'll learn how Fair Housing *should* impact your business and your community for the better. You'll learn how your passionate community involvement can be the key to future sales without ever buying another lead.
